SL Final - can I take it easy?

[the_cure]

Hello again,

I scheduled 4 SL finals for this weekend. In 1 subject I already have 770 (out of the required 1000) and in others I am 5 to 45 points short of 700. Since this is also my birthday this weekend I don't want to spend too much time on the finals. Can I just take it easy and just do enough to pass? Like with the course I already have 770, just go through it in a matter of minutes as I don't really care about the score? I do not want to have any problems later on, like you got about 80% - 90% on quizzes and just 20% on the final etc.

Thanks once again,

Yes as long as the syllabus doesn't list a minimum score for the final (I think only one class required this). I've literally clicked random answers on a ton of the finals to speed things up.

Thanks a lot. I don't think any of the subjects I have lists a minimum requirement for the final. Do you, be any chance, recall which subject required it?

Thanks,

Intro to Psych used to have a requirement, but they removed it (old syllabus: https://s3.amazonaws.com/StraighterLine/...ogy-V3.pdf ). I don't know of any current courses that have this requirement, but always read the syllabus before doing it to be sure. You can see the difference in how the old syllabus is worded and how the new one is ( https://s3.amazonaws.com/StraighterLine/...hology.pdf ). This is the type of thing to watch out for. All in all, I wouldn't worry to much, but check first.

Thanks! I just had a quick look and it looks like I will be fine.

I rescheduled my exams, so will take the easiest ones (actually I already have 2 with more than 700 points) as the last exams so can finish earlier

Do you guys by any chance know if I can speed up my next exam (without paying extra) if my exams are back to back. For example I have exam A scheduled for 8:00 and exam B for 10:15. If I finish my exam A earlier, can I take exam B right away since the proctor is already with me?

Just to an email back from Proctor U - It can be done back to back, just have to tell the proctor I want to do it this way.

Cool! I didn't think to ask them but that would have been nice when I was going. Most of my exams (the click through ones) the setup took twice as long as the test. Nice find.
